As there's still no announce@ list (and people have complained about it) and this release contains a security fix, this is a note that Pidgin v2.6.5 is released.
All binaries typically provided are available (Windows, some RPMs, and the Ubuntu PPA). In addition to a security fix, this release fixes a number of other crash-ey bugs and includes a number of platform-specific build fixes.
See the ChangeLog (which is somewhere on http://pidgin.im :-P) for more details.
